WCW Nitro Ships

We can't tell you to buy it, but we can verify that THQ's latest wrestler has shipped.

By IGN Staff

The Inland Productions-developed wrestler, WCW Nitro 64, is on its way to a retailer near you. At this point, you're probably asking yourself, "So what's the scoop, guys? Surely you've played this one and you can give us the low-down." You would think that, wouldn't you? But alas, THQ has different plans for this game. We've actually never played it. In fact, all we've seen of it are handfuls of screen-shots.

Fret not though wrestling fans, for come tomorrow, we'll be on our way to Electronics Boutique to pick up our very own copies. We expect to be blown away by the game's unrivaled graphics and tight gameplay mechanics. Why, look just look at what Nintendo Power has to say about it: "WCW fans have two great wrestling games to choose from [on N64], but this isn't one of them."

THQ, you wouldn't possibly try to hide a potential stinker from the videogame press, would you?

IGN64 will have the full review of the wrestling game Nintendo Power describes as "horrible" soon. Wrestling fans are probably well advised to stick with WCW/NWO Revenge for now.
